“Rich and creamy ricotta cheese is combined with mozzarella, beaten egg and spaghetti sauce to make a rich and filling sauce for cooked ziti. Top with Parmesan cheese and bake for a delicious, classic Italian casserole.”

I only rated this 3 stars because I had to modify the recipe. I used 1/2 of the ricotta and mixed it with about 1 cup of sour cream. The ricotta is too much for me, and the sour cream modifies the taste a bit. I used more sauce like other reviewers did and less mozzarella than the recipe calls for. Great recipe with modifications! Also, covered this to cook to prevent drying out.

Made this for dinner and the family loved it! So tasty and I added ground turkey for more substance and next time will add sausage per my husband's request; not that it 'needs' it but it would 'taste good.' He ate 2 bowls and my 19 month old after every bite "mmmmmm" and I didn't have to beg my 4 year old either! A hit with everyone! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

This is the best simple baked ziti recipe. The whole thing can cost as low as $7 for a 9x13" pan's worth. I must say that I don't mix the sauce with the cheese. I just mix the noodles in with the cheese mixture and layer with sauce/noddles and cheese/sauce/mozzarella. I also mix in some salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and parsley flakes into the cheese mixture for extra flavor. Another great variation is using vodka sauce! It makes it super rich and brings out the flavor of the cheese.

Very good and cheesy. I added less Ricotta cheese and added some Italian seasoning. I layered the mixture with the pasta in the pan. I also added an extra egg. Overall the family enjoyed it. We have plenty left for leftovers!
